context_page_description: Mamma Togni is a dramatic monologue by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, set in Italy after the Second World War. It was performed in 1973.
  The monologue is a tribute to Giuseppina Modena, partisan gold medalist of the Italian Resistance, who during the Second World War lost her husband and 22-year-old son Lorenzo "Enzo" Togni, to whom a Garibaldi partisan brigade was named. On April 9, 1972 during the campaign for the 1972 Italian general election, the woman interrupted a meeting of the deputy Franco Servello, hitting him with a walking stick: for this reason the woman was arrested along with eight other people and tried, but eventually she was acquitted in 1976.
  It was performed for the first time during the Liberation Day in the square in Pavia on 25 April 1972, played by Franca Rame, and then published by Einaudi in Guerra di popolo in Cile. The monologue was performed by Franca Rame also on 31 December 1975 in Piazza del Duomo, Milan..
